What are measurement services?

A measurement service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on what you need. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a form that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the total livable area, of your home. These services are helpful and often essential when challenging property taxes or selling a property.

How does a home measurement or floorplan service work?

During a measurement service, an appraiser takes measurements of your property with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they walk the home, they note the layout of the rooms and other features, like stairs, entryways, and pantries. They might sketch the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed sketch showing the total area and the general layout of the home. The resulting report is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documents, home listings, and more.

When are measurement services required?

Property taxes

Tax records often reflect incorrect square footage because the values can come from many sources, and occasionally go unproven — which means you may be paying for more space than you actually have! Unless an appraiser has recently executed a valuation on your property (after any remodeling that may have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before disputing your taxes. An appraiser determines an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Selling a listing

A measurement service will ensure that you're paid fair market value for your home. Area is one of the biggest factors potential buyers consider when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might reflect less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA not only decreases the selling price of your property, but possibly even the amount of interested buyers. The only dependable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home or property is to reference a previous appraisal or measurement service performed by an appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

For real estate professionals

To ensure that your client's home sells at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we advise asking for a measurement of the property. Clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your thoroughness, and you can rest assured knowing the GLA on your client's listing is truly representative of their home. A measurement can also be a wonderful marketing tactic for attracting potential buyers because they can review the layout and attributes of the property before and after a walkthrough.
